Residence: NA - NALength of Stay:
Institution:
Dr. Graham is an Adjunct Professor of Systematic Theology at the Institute of Theology at St. Augustine’s Seminary in Scarborough, Ontario. He is also a Teacher of Religion and Philosophy at St. Peter’s Secondary School in Peterborough. Dr. Graham received his Ph.D. in Catholic Studies from the Open University and Maryvale Institute in Birmingham, England. His dissertation, John Henry Newman, the Holy Spirit and the Church: an examination of his fundamental pneumatic ecclesiology with special reference to the period 1826-53, was directed by The Reverend Dr. Ian Ker, of the University of Oxford. Dr. Graham was a Newman Scholar at NINS during the summer of 2007. He authored the article, “Newman’s Sermon on ‘The Mystery of the Holy Trinity’: A Response to Richard Whately?” which was published in the Spring 2008 Newman Studies Journal. During a two-week residency during the summer of 2010, Dr. Graham will develop an article that will counter Frank Turner’s contention that Newman’s An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine is a naturalistic account bereft of a proper pneumatology.
